Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install. Anyone else have that problem? How do i solve? Can't move to I cloud until it is done.
iMac (17-inch Late 2006), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Can you explain in more detail why it will not install please.
What happens/does not happen when you boot your iMac from the SL installion DVD?
Hold c and reboot off the 10.6 disk, run the installer.
If the machine your upgrading is the 2006, I'd highly advise you stay on 10.6.8
It's a 5 year old machine, you're in the last life stages of that machine and 10.7 will push it right over the edge.
10.6 is a GOOD upgrade for that machine, faster than 10.7 or 10.5. 😉
And 10.6 will run your 10.5 software, 10.7 will not. 😟
Get iCloud with a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, seriously.
Your machine is too old to bother with Lion.
Or else you can learn yourself and use this link to get back to Snow, good luck finding your 10.5 programs. 😟
The disc just spins a bit and ejects.
One time it opend up and when i tried to istall it would quite halfway through and restart the machine and eject with no Snow Leapord installed.
How much memory (RAM) is installed in your Late 2006 iMac? Snow Leopard requires at least 1 GB; Lion will require at least 2 GB. (Most Late 2006 iMacscan support up to 3 GB; Apple says the low end model can only support up to 2 GB.)
